Description
"Error parsing repository index information. Index file does not exist or is malformed."
It's possible to get this doing rollbacks as part of other troubleshooting.
The solution is to delete any index present and download it again. (Per Harvey)
We should probably add the solution to the troubleshooting section of the help center because I have heard of this happening before.

Research direction
Start with the linked local-repository documentation sections on creating or updating the index and adding it to the eopkg repository database, then find the help center's troubleshooting section. Add an article covering the malformed or missing repository index error, rollbacks as a possible trigger, and deleting and downloading the index again as the resolution.
